Welcome to Bright Meadow Caravan Park

Formerly ‘The Dell’

Whether you choose to arrive in a touring caravan, motor home or with a tent; for a long weekend, a week or just a mid-week break, we welcome you and your family to Bright Meadow.

Bright Meadow Caravan Park is located in the heart of the idyllic Suffolk Countryside. Suffolk will spoil you with its space and peace, gently rolling countryside and picturesque villages with thatched, colourwashed cottages; scenes that inspired some of Britain’s greatest painters.

Suffolk also boasts a largely unspoiled 45 mile long coastline, much of it now managed for conservation and offering broad views, long walks, fine bird watching and charming seaside villages.

Thurston is our local village (about 1 mile away) and has a post office, general store, garage/filling station, pub, hotel, vet and railway line that serves both Cambridge and Ipswich.

The historic town of Bury St Edmunds is just 4.5 miles away and the international ferry port of Harwich is within easy reach.

The park has 50 widely spaced pitches situated on six acres of level ground, surrounded by trees and fields.

As our home is on the park, you can be assured of our personal attention at all times.
